The brain is a heap of cells made up of protein and
fat molecules. It is formed of nerve cells called
neurons (above). It is not, of course, the neurons
that give rise to consciousness. What we encounter
when we examine the structure of neurons is atoms.
(Left) And it is certainly impossible for unconscious
atoms to give rise to consciousness. There is no
power in this piece of meat, called the brain, to
observe the images, to constitute consciousness, or
to create the being we call "myself."

When the brain is dissected, nothing is found in it but lipid and
protein molecules, which exist in other organs of the body as well. This
means that within the tissue we call "our brain," there is nothing to observe
and interpret the images, constitute consciousness, or to make the being
we call "ourselves."
In relation to the perception of images in the brain, perceptual
scientist R.L. Gregory refers to a mistake people make:

There is a temptation, which must be avoided, to say that the eyes produce
pictures in the brain. A picture in the brain suggests the need of some kind
of internal eye to see it—but this would need a further eye to see its picture…
and so on in an endless regress of eyes and pictures. This is absurd. 396
This problem puts materialists, who hold that nothing is real except
matter, in a quandary: Who is behind the eye that sees? What perceives
what it sees, and then reacts?
